18 months old...

Dear Eleanor,

I can't believe you're 18 months old today. I can't believe my little baby is growing up so fast...right before my eyes. You have made my life so wonderful. You amaze me every day with the things you learn. My favorite time of day is first thing in the morning. You are so excited when I come in to get you. You have the best smile that makes your eyes dance. I love your little bit of curl on the back of your hair. Your face is starting to change into a toddler face. Today you looked at me while I was rocking you, and my heart hurt. I know you won't want to be rocked too much longer...so I treasure the times you let me snuggle you.

You had to give up your pacifier this week...and you're doing so good. You still have nap time struggles...but you're working through them. I realized today you are a clothes horse like me. After we got back home from shopping you started pulling out all your new clothes and swung them around on the hanger. We tried them on and we laughed.

I love you so much...and I wish there was a way for me to express it even more than just saying I love you. Someday you'll understand the intense love I have for you. Happy half birthday my angel.

Love,

Mommy
